His experience as an elected official (Sheriff) and as a county employee, give him a unique insight into the operations of local government.

Brad will bring much needed conservative values and a freedom oriented philosophy to Elkhart County’s Board of Commissioners. With over three decades of service to our county, he understands that limited government and an approach based on the individual person is the key to the preservation of our Republic.
